On the same night, the middleweight title is at stake when champion, England’s Yannick ‘Black Mamba’ Bahati defends against former welterweight champion, South Africa’s David Buirski. The South African looks to make history yet again by claiming his second title in a second division, but standing in his way is an angry behemoth of a champion, a man that is in search of vengeance and redemption.

Plus, undefeated featherweight champion Igeu ‘Smiley’ Kabesa put his unbeaten record and title on the line when he faces notorious KO artist and champion wrestler, Hanru Botha. While Kabesa has breezed through all his opposition to date, Botha is seen to be his biggest threat yet. With the power to knock out anyone and wrestling skills to match the champion, Kabesa’s agility and heart will be put to the test.
